Old John Deere Van Brunt grain drill

I just bought an old grain drill....not sure which model
it is and the seed charts are mostly unreadable. The only markings on it are
T412M
Ds
and T420M
D
If someone could identify the model, I could order a seeding chart for it. Thank You.
 
It think you are posting casting numbers (which could have been used on more than one machine),

Post a photo of it... almost certainly someone here will recognize it and tell you what you have.
 
If you can give us more information to help you.
Fertilizer or plain?
Single or double disk openers or shoe openers and spacing? 6", 7", 8", or 10"?
Rubber tire and 15-16" or 36" or wood or steel wheels?
Wood or steel box?
Press whels or not?
There are at least a dozen different models of the Van Brunt drill.
 
Does it have wood wheels, steel wheels, rubber tire wheels, a lever in front that looks like a trip lever, a short wood stub toungue, or a for real tractor hitch? Handles in front or back, A seat in back or not?
 
(quoted from post at 22:47:19 06/07/11) I've got an old Van Brunt that i'm wanting to paint. Does anybody know the color scheme on that drills?

If it's like mine, green and a kind of rusty color. :mrgreen: Mark

Yes, a 7 X 7 cut down from a 7 X 15 FB. Here's another one I'm working on now. It will be a 7 X 8. Originally it was a 7 X 17 FB, the frame was tweaked bad on the right side and the lift was busted up. Small seed and fertilizer drives aren't locked up, minor repairs to boxes.

Just need to do a little more work on the right side end frame, and fab up a tongue. Mark

Here is a picture of the grain drill. Hopefully, someone can identify the model number so I can get a seeding chart for it. Thank you.

It's a FB or FB-A seeding chart will be the same either way.Only variables affecting seed chart on a fluted feed drill are disk opener spacing and tire sizes.
